Nostalgia

[yomumokaku]

I feel weirdly nostalgic for a time when writing on the internet wasn’t about blogs, blogging, having an audience, trying to flog things to people, carefully curating photographs to make life look perfect.

Ugh.

I've been really missing my time on opendiary and dreamwidth. I miss my list of favourites - almost none of them seem to write anymore.

Definitely feeling nostalgic for a simpler time, when it was just about writing about your life with no agenda, and so I’m back, to do exactly that.

I can't really remember how dreamwidth works, if I ever really understood it - so I'm planning on spending a bit of time just pottering around, maybe reading some entries, and trying to get the lay of the land again.

I'm missing older days on LJ/DW, too. Fandom seems to have migrated to Tumblr, which is a lovely platform for certain things but lacks the chatty aspect of the journals.

Just dropping by to say hi and introduce myself! M.

I know what you mean about Tumblr - I feel even more out of my depth there! I wonder if I'm just getting old!

Thanks for saying Hi! Sometimes it's nice to feel you're not shouting into the void.
